I have plenty of those and two strokes. We have little snow here in Michigan where its too light for ski's so I will hand launch the foamy. I have an aerobat glo two stroke that I use for winter on ski's. Start it on lighter fluid. I call it the flying brick where with the hot tower ABS engine its a rocket on ski's.

El Rojo, Be sure to check out the tour at the Mooney factory. Did it twice in the '80s. Wish they built RVs that way.

I've actually been on that tour...long ago.

Active RC flyer here, but a prospective Reflection owner at the present time. We are thinking of trading for one and are in the hard research phase.

Been flying electrics for the last 27 years from park flyers to giant scale. Recently did a gas Hellcat, but realized how much I prefer electric and converted it. Started flying RC in 79 so I guess I’m officially old :-)

Saw mention of Triple Tree, it’s my favorite pilgrimage. I used to park the motorhome there every year for Joe Nall and eWeek.

I've just got my Reflection out of storage and taking care of few maintenance items on it before I head to Joe Nall on May 4th. I'll be there the entire 10 days. Looking forward to some warm weather!

I'm going to try to get over for a couple of days if possible, it's only about 4 1/2 hours for me. Do you boondock or are you getting one of the RV sites?

I see you're in CO, we stay in Cherry Creek SP in Denver when we visit the kids so I can fly at the field there. We won't be out til Sep this year so I'll miss Nall in the Fall which used to be eWeek.

I was able to snag a RV site right below the hanger. I went last year only to get rained out before it actually started. Long trip down there to get rained out. Used our backup plan and spent two weeks at Myrtle Beach. Had a great time.

I'd love to see a photo of your Hellcat!

I used to try to get on the row below the hanger for eWeek, then usually ended up way up the hill for Nall. I had the motorhome then so hookups weren’t as needed then. The tanks on the Mini Lite are too small and no generator. I was glad I was in OK last May and not here getting rained out. Lots of inconvenienced people.

Well, that’s a good option :-) Glad you got some fun out of it.
